Granted
The Board granted an effective date of June 9, 2022, for the award of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: Affording all doubt to the Veteran, the Board found that his complaints of sleep disturbances and snoring during service were the first manifestations of the disease process later diagnosed as OSA.
